The colorful creations have been permanently added to the the Massachusetts Probation Service Training and Operations Center’s wall gallery of art for the enjoyment of all who enter the training facility and headquarters for the Administrative Supervision Unit, Electronic Monitoring Center, and Training Division. Creamer Center students gifted the artwork—14 paintings and sketches—to MPS and recited poetry for their guests.

The paintings and sketches were previously on display at MTOC during the 2024 Cultural Appreciation Week celebration in October.

In addition to First Deputy Fasano and ASU Chief Probation Officer Matthew DeVeau, Assistant Chief Probation Officer Rosemary Sliwinski and Worcester Family & Probate Associate Probation Officer Brittany Cormier of the ASU coordinated this community engagement event.

“We are excited about connecting with these young people in the community and sharing their beautiful and uplifting artwork with those who enter MTOC," said Ms. Fasano.

“We are in the process of framing and hanging the art in the long hallway at MTOC to go along with previously donated student artwork from the Worcester North High School,” said Mr. DeVeau.
